The Hide-and-Scare Bear

A naughty bear learns an important lesson!

There once lived a naughty
and mischievous bear
who liked playing a game
he called hide-and-scare.

Then along came Rabbit, who offered advice —
a short rabbit lesson on how to be nice.

But can a little rabbit show a big bear that there is a kinder way to play?...the book addresses an important social skill for the very young.
